The Montreal Canadiens visited Columbus on Friday with a 9-0-1 record; they were the only NHL team without a loss in regulation.

The Columbus Blue Jackets then beat them 10-0.
Yes. 10-0. As in, they scored 10 goals. And the Canadiens scored none.
It was a ridiculous, wonderful and historic hockey moment on a Friday night when many might not be watching. Including you! So here’s everything you might’ve missed.
THE GOALS
They were many. Columbus was up 3-0 after one period thanks to Cam Atkinson. No big deal, though. That’s ripe for a comeback!

Unless they keep scoring. Which they did. And keep in mind that the Blue Jackets had a goal disallowed due to a kicking motion!

and at 10-0, the Canadiens have tied a franchise record for most consecutive goals scored against (most recently: @ DET, 4/1/42)

#CBJ 10, #Habs 0. Not a typo. Most goals in #CBJ history, matches worst defeat in #Candiens history, which is saying something.

The Rangers are now the only team in the NHL with a better goal differential right now than the Blue Jackets, at plus-12 after the win.

Columbus scored 9 goals against Montreal on the night Detroit honored Gordie Howe. These things are unrelated. Please RT.

THE REACTIONS
They were hilarious. Odd: fans seem to revel in the failures of other sports teams! Who would’ve guessed? Not I!
